The Coach and The Flyer

Chapter Four: Preparing For The Date

The next day I was awoke by the sudden sickening feeling in my gut, I bounded from my bed and puked into the toilet; this was going to get old really fast; as soon as I was done I got up and headed to my closet I picked out a cute outfit. I didn't have much time, because apparently my clock was screwed up and was a half hour behind. I quickly slipped into a pair of skinny jeans, black flats, a black tank-top, and a shawl. After getting dressed I realized I only had about twenty minutes to do my hair and makeup before I had to drive to school. I quickly went to the bathroom and started to do my hair. I curled it and let it hang down my back knowing that it looked good like that. After doing my hair I had like eight minutes to do my makeup grab my stuff for school and be out the door. Time was pressing, but I got my makeup done and it looked really good; okay it looked semi good; I was rushing around getting my backpack and stuff and I almost forgot that I needed to grab my phone and laptop, I could not leave those here they had the evidence of me being pregnant and I wasn't ready to tell my mother yet. I was not going to tell her until I started to show enough where I couldn't hide it from her anymore, which would not be for another twelve weeks, considering I was only five weeks along. I stuffed my laptop into my bag and headed out the door, grabbing my car keys on the way out.

I drove to school with the radio on like I normally do, but I was not really listening. I didn't even know that my phone was ringing. I would have never even realized it if I had not looked down when I was at a red light. The caller ID on my phone said Matthew McAndrew and my stomach churned. I didn't want to pick up the phone but I did, answering the phone I said in an annoyed tone. "What do you want, because if is to tell me to get rid of the baby and to kill it I am not going to do that." I said and I heard him sigh, "Jasmine I did not call to tell you to kill the baby I just wanted to make sure you had scheduled an appointment for the baby. If I calculated right from when we had sex you should be about five weeks along." He said kind of sadly. "Yes I am five weeks along and no I have not, I am scared to. I know I need to, but what are they gonna say when a seventeen year old walks in and is pregnant? What am I gonna say when they ask who the father is?" I asked as I drove trying to hold back tears. "Jasmine I don't know, but if you wanna keep the baby you need to do this to make sure it is healthy and growing properly." He said in a way like he really cared. "Matthew yesterday you didn't even care that I was having a baby, well you cared but you didn't care about the well being of it. What made you care?" I asked driving down the road about two minutes from school. "I care because it's my child and I wanna care." He said a little loudly into the phone. "Matthew please I don't wanna burden you or get you into trouble. I will let you see the baby when it is born and as it grows. I will tell it about what happened with us and you will be around as it grows, but we can't be together." I said trying to hold back tears; damn these hormones.; "Jasmine we need to talk about this other than on the phone." He said lowering his voice a little bit. "Look I am pulling into the school parking lot now we will talk later." I said and hung up before he could answer.

Why did he want to be in the baby's life all of a sudden, yesterday he thought I should get rid of it. "We can take care of it. It can be fixed." He said. He thought that I was being stupid for not wanting to kill the innocent life inside me that he had created. He had taken my innocence and gotten me pregnant, after lying to me about his car breaking down and seducing me. I was stupid and naive and he took advantage of me and I wanted to make my own decision, he could not take that from me.

As I was walking lost in though I did not even realize who was in front of me and I slammed into a wall like figure. I looked up and saw the worst person to run into at my school. When I looked up and saw Jason Travis the number one jock and the meanest person in the school I fell backwards and hit the floor hard. He looked down at my tiny frame and smiled an evil grin saying, "So little miss flyer doesn't watch where she is going, just like she didn't watch having sex. I know you're pregnant everyone does at least everyone that is here today." He said laughing as he picked me up and held me in the air. "So Jasmine you wanna go have some fun, just me and you?" He asked still smiling. I swallowed hard and answered fear in my voice. "N-no Jason I don't please I don't want to I am not like that please leave me alone." I said trying to hold back tears. He laughed and set me down, and I thought for a minute he was gonna let me go, but then he pushed me onto the floor and got on top of me his fist raised high in the air ready to swing. I was terrified and closed my eyes preparing myself for the impact of his fist, but it never came and when I opened my eyes there was Mason saving the day. He had pulled him off of me and was slamming up against the wall. Soon after he left him go and Jason left and I could tell that he was trying to hold back tears. Mason came over and picked me up and made sure I was steady before backing away from me. He looked at me and smiled, "I could never let anyone hurt you, you're way to cute." He said grabbing my hand. "So are you ready for our date tonight?" He asked not even a sign of knowing that I was pregnant. "Y-yeah." I stuttered looking at him. "Jasmine id everything okay you seem nervous?" He asked looking down at me. "No I am fine." I said flashing a fake smile. "Hey I gotta get to class I will see you later." I said scooting away from him. "Wait I wanna give you something first." He said smiling. "Yes?" I asked waiting. He didn't say anything, but he leaned in and kissed me holding onto my hips. I was surprised, but I kissed back. He pulled away and until then I had not noticed that I was blushing. "Jasmine you're blushing." He said a sparkle in his eyes. I covered my cheeks and ran down the hall to my class, but not before saying. "You are a really good kisser see you tonight for our date."

The rest of the day was okay, everyone was staring at me trying to see if they could tell if I was pregnant or not. I kept hearing everyone saying. "Wow I always thought she would get pregnant, she was to good and innocent to be not faking I always knew she was a slut." I had a really hard time not turning around and punching them in the face. After school I ran into my ex-bestfriend, yes I ran into Samantha the bitch on the way to my car. "Oh hey Jasmine, so everyone in school knows you are a slut now how does that make you feel?" She asked as she leaned on my car in her cheer uniform; no wait that was my old one, of course when I left the team she would be bumped up to head cheerleader she always wanted to be.

"Ha yeah sure they think I am a slut and let them because I have better things to worry about, plus I know I am not a slut I have only ever had sex with one guy once, so I am not a slut. Unlike you who lost her virginity at thirteen to a guy who was old enough to be her father." I said looking at her knowing she would get mad that I had said that. "Look you have no reason to bring that up I was young and he said he loved me. Don't you dare tell anyone it will make me look like a whore." She said and she looked like she was going to cry. "I am not gonna tell anyone, because when you told me that I promised to never tell anyone and even if you are being a little bitch I am gonna keep my promise. Now please get out of the way so I can get home I have somewhere to be at eight o'clock." I said motioning for her to step away from my car. She did and I got in and drove away though I heard a small weep as I drove away.

When I got home I threw my shoes off at the door, ran up the stairs and hung my bag in my room, put my phone on the charger and went to get a shower. I got out a little while later and I had three missed calls from Matthew, four texts, then I had one missed text from Mason. I checked Mason's text and it said "Can't wait until eight, hope you are ready for an amazing night." I quickly answered with a "I can't wait either I have an adorable outfit ready." When I sent it I went and checked what Matt had said. "Hey Jasmine." "Jasmine it's me Matthew." "Look please don't be mad at me for the baby." "Jasmine please we need to talk." Wow he is impatient I thought, I answered him with a, "I was in the shower sorry, and can't talk now getting ready for my date ." I sent this and not even a minute later I got a text back saying. "Jasmine please don't go on this date, I don't want him to hurt you." I read it and scoffed. "How could he say that, its like he is trying to have a claim on me." The words came out softly but still angry.

After the texts I quickly got dressed. "Well I won't be fitting inside this in a couple weeks." I said in a sarcastic laugh as I put the belt around the dress. I did my hair in a nice curly pony tail on the top of my head and my nails to match my dress. My makeup and my shoes were last, when I was finished I checked the clock and realized he would be to the Villa Italia in less than five minutes so I grabbed my purse and headed for the door.
